THE : HESPERIAN JProi XV. G. I-.unff'vvoi-tljy Taylor. Prof, and Mrs. Taylor spent the greater part of the summer in Colorado. Prof. Taylor did not rest much, even while taking his out ing, but pursued his study and investigation in Political and Economic Science. His work was mostly confined to reading. His only contribution to the press was a criticism of the "Outlines of Economic Theory" by Her bert Joseph Davenport. This criticism ap pears in the Journal of Political Economy for September. While the criticism includes gen eral comment on the book of Prof. Davenport, il especially discusses "Value," "Effectual Demand," "Utility" and "Exchange Value." It is just such contributions as these that bring our University into prominence. While this is only a minor contribution of Prof. Taylor's, yet it makes students in the Politi cal Science department realize more fully that Prof. Taylor is a credit to the University. Prof. Taylor did not resume his department work until last Friday. Scarcely had he re turned from Colorado before he was called to New York by the death of his sister. His father, having died last winter. Prof. Taylor was compelled to remain some time with his mother and attend to business connected with his father's estate.
